  • Started My Annual

    Tribe, started the annual on the Yellow Duck, only thing so far is one low cylinder. # 1 down to about 45# the rest are up to78 or better. Going to pull that one tomorrow and check it out.

    A little cosmetic work on the baffeling plus change out the exhaust with Sonny's new SS ones should just about do it.

    Had thought about putting in panel mount Com & Xtps, but think I will stay with the hand held and no Xtp. As others have said.....keep it lite !!

    Also have given lots of thought to a larger engine......but, nah...going to keep the 65. runs great, starts easily...if it ain't broke, don't mess with it.

    John, glad to see you on the site.....WHEN YOU GONNA START ON THE T-CART ???

    FYI: I thought John's previous owner of his T-Craft how to fly in that one, back in the 60's...Would love to see it going again. John, when you are in stop by the house. That J-3 will get in and out without any problems.

    Lee,
    Glad to hear that the annual has begun. For two annuals my #3 cyl was 66-68#.
    When I pulled it On the last annual, found #3 piston cracked at the pin hole.
    Bummer!

    Have not met with your friend as of yet.

    Do we really think of our Great and Lovely TAYLORCRAFTS as an object of an old broken down "cart" I THINK NOT! They are the product of one man's dream, a dream that came true.

    And yet, I know that it is only a bad habit when we accidently use the word "cart".
    "T-craft" is so much more respectful........

    Or in short,.....don't let Forrest, hear you say "T-cart"

    Lee, need your friends name and location again>
